Easy, back in the day you could have 30 traffic convictions in a row and not lose 1 demerit point (or your license), yet demereit points have been around for as long as I've been driving........and that's a very long time.
I have a different take on this, and don't get me wrong, I want this guy out too but only because he's against us having a drag strip, not because of his record.
I'd like to know how long ago these offenses were committed cause I believe he outted himself with this info.
If they were very recent offences, then throw the book at him and show him the exit door.
If on the other hand these offenses were committed a long time ago and he has shown reform since then, then everybody (including us) has to be given a chance to turn from their ways.
There's alot of shit that I used to do to people years ago that I regret today......hence why I strongly defend the underdog these days and why I might come down very hard on peeps ganging up on anyone here.
If Koutsantonis committed this stuff along time ago and has had a clean record since, he may actually be in the best position as a Road Safety Minister.......but not if there are recent blemishes..........and having said that, we need a drag strip and this dude is against it.
